About This Book

Digital technology has caused governments, businesses, and individuals to rethink long-held notions of privacy and security. Although monitoring can be used to perform surveillance on criminal activity, it can also be used to spy on innocent individuals, if legal constraints are not in place. Privacy, Security, and Cyberspace, Revised Edition illustrates how digital privacy and security is often a cat-and-mouse game in which owners of computers and digital data constantly update their defenses in response to new threats, while hackers develop new ways to break through such defenses.

Chapters include:

  • Your Right to Privacy
  • Computer Viruses: Invisible Threats to Privacy
  • Spyware: Software Snooping on Your Private Data
  • Phishing and Social Engineering: Confidence Games Go Online
  • Your Personal Information Online: Everyone Is a Public Figure Now
  • Identity Theft: Protecting Oneself against Impostors
  • Keeping Your Data Secure: The Best Offense Is a Good Defense
  • Databases, Privacy, and Security: Monitoring the "Online You."
